chronic ache
Pain that lingers
A chronic ache is persistent, low-grade pain that lingers over time rather than arriving sharply and leaving.
Unlike acute pain that signals immediate injury, a chronic ache settles in: a chronic ache in my lower back, the chronic ache of old injuries.
The phrase often describes both physical discomfort and emotional states—a chronic ache of loneliness.
